finished sks

[1tuf57]

My free 99 sks is finally done I reblued all the metal and I have a new bolt on the way. I know there are nicer bluing jobs out there but this gun is going to be shot alot. The cromelined barrel has strong rifling and its a good shooter.

Not bad!

What blue did you use?

[1tuf57]

Birchwood casey perma blue paste have about 3 layers of blue on it.

Not bad! Pretty dark for a cold blue

Bet it smells like crap huh?

I hate the smell of that stuff, get it on your hands and they will smell for a couple days at least .

May be my bad nose but I dont smell it smells like oil and gunpowder to me.

Maybe I'll have to give the paste a try, I've only used the liquid stuff.

I like the paste alot more than the liquid it seems to do a better job of bluing.
